Fort Wayne, IN: The City's free splash pads will be turned on Saturday, May 27 at 9 am.
Northside Pool will be open May 27 - May 29 and will reopen on a daily basis starting June 3. McMillen Pool will open for the season on June 3.
Currently, we do not have an opening date for Memorial Park Pool, due to a shortage of lifeguards. Once all necessary positions are filled, we will open Memorial Pool. Those interested in a lifeguard position may apply online at www.cityoffortwayne.org.
